FACTIBILIDAD EXPERIMENTAL DE LA INYECCIÓN DE AGUA EN LAS ARENAS MUGROSA DEL CAMPO LISAMA

Abstract

Lisama field is located in Magdalena Middle Valley basin and although it was discovered in 1967, its recovery factor does not exceed 14% and its production is declining. For this reason, it requires prompt implementation of a secondary recovery process to offset declining oil rate and stabilize the reservoir pressure; The field was evaluated for experimental response to the implementation of a water injection process in its most prolific reservoir: Mugrosa Formation. In this study we performed the integration of results from laboratory tests such as basic petrophysical properties, mineralogical characterization, mineral distribution, poral geometry, compatibility studies and sensitivity of the rock. The response of the reservoir to the implementation of the process was positive because compatibility between fluids and a low sensitivity of the formation minerals were observed.
